the rest collective

✦

For many of us caring for ourselves, let alone for one another, is no easy task when we’re stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed & under-resourced. In the constant stimulation & unrelenting pressure of our modern world, we can get caught in the trap of perpetual productivity & true rest can feel illusive or indulgent.

But as Tricia Hersey of The Nap Ministry says, “[Rest] is our birthright.
It is one of our most ancient & primal needs.”

In The Rest Collective we tend to this need together, exploring different qualities of rest through restorative yoga, somatic mindfulness, embodied voice, journaling, drawing & singing.

Our practice is rooted in the understanding that:
(1) community is an essential element of our personal wellbeing
(2) in order to show up for the collective, we must tend to ourselves

During our sessions we give our mind, body & nervous system an opportunity to find stillness as we weave a web of connection with one another to support our individual experience.

In this soft & caring space we cultivate presence, resilience & courage for these times of great upheaval. Through the power of rest we expand our capacity to connect, to dream & to imagine new possibilities for ourselves & for the collective.
